"Reset Your LinkedIn Password" spam / mysqlfordummys.ru

This fake LinkedIn email leads to malware on the oddly named domain of mysqlfordummys.ru:

Date:      Thu, 2 Aug 2012 02:27:38 -0300
From:      LinkedIn Password [password@linkedin.com]
Subject:      Reset Your LinkedIn Password

LinkedIn

Hi altera,

Then sign in to LinkedIn with your new password and the email address where you received this message.

Thanks for using LinkedIn!

Flaws in SQL server implementations are a hacker's favourite target, so perhaps there is a wry sense of humour here. Anyway, the malicious payload is at [donotclick]mysqlfordummys.ru:8080/forum/showthread.php?page=5fa58bce769e5c2c (report here) hosted on 203.80.16.81 (MYREN Infrastructure, Malaysia)
